Choosing a New Design for Your Home and Garden

Moving from one home to another is often more complicated and stressful than many people realize, but a professional removalist can make the process much easier overall. Before you plan your next move or assume you can handle it on your own, consider three reasons why it's good to call a professional removalist to help out.

1. A removalist can help you pack.

Some moving companies are there to simply pick up your boxes and furniture, but a true removalist can help you pack. This not only cuts down on the time and effort you need to spend preparing for your move but it can also ensure your items are packed more securely.

A removalist will have specialized cartons for packing certain items and will also provide the right packing insulators, such as foam peanuts or bubble wrap. This can decrease the risk of any of your items being damaged in your move and may even make unpacking your items that much easier on you overall.

2. A removalist has insurance.

While a removalist can reduce the risk of your items being damaged, something could still get scratched or broken in transit. If this were to happen, you can make a claim on their insurance policy. This will mean being reimbursed for the cost of replacing those items rather than paying for them out of your own pocket.

You may not think this is important if you don't own many expensive items, but consider the cost of replacing anything you own. Chances are you would need to buy them new and that can be pricey. Even if one piece of furniture or electronic equipment gets damaged this can cost you quite a bit to replace.

3. It's easy to underestimate or overestimate the truck and materials you need.

If you've never moved everything you own before, it's easy to overestimate or underestimate the size of the truck you need along with all your boxes and packing materials. You may find that you need to stuff a small truck and in turn, risk breaking some of your items. You may also overestimate the size of truck you need and struggle to drive a large panel truck across town while your items slide around in the back. You may also run out of bubble wrap or boxes or wind up with far more than you need.

An experienced removalist such as M.K.T. Removals Pty Ltd can estimate the number of items you have and determine the best truck and number of boxes you need. This can eliminate much of the stress and hassle of moving and make the process easier overall.
